Santa made a ‘cyber’ stop at Dell Children's Hospital Wednesday.

Straight from the North Pole, Santa spoke to kids too sick to make a visit to one of Santa's local locations. It was part of Cisco Systems' Santa Connection Program.

Pint-sized patients were able to pass on their Christmas wishes.

As for what's hot on this year's lists, Santa Claus said, “Ipads, Ipods. I actually got somebody that asked for a pogo stick and I hadn't heard that in a few years."

The system that Santa used to make his cyber visit is actually part of a system used to examine patients remotely.

This was the second year that Santa has visited Dell Children's Hospital remotely.
